Coronet

These cuffs do double duty, keeping your ankles warm and making a playful fashion statement at the same time. Show them off with your boots or skates, make some for the Derby Girls in your life, or keep them quietly to yourself under your jeans. These cuffs are made from luxury yarns, but will last much longer than socks because there are no toes or heels to wear out.

There are two versions of this pattern, both based on the same stitch pattern idea, but each taking that idea in a different direction.

Kfbf: knit into the front and back and front of a stitch to increase 2 sts

Dimple stitch in the round (worked over a multiple of 6 sts)

*K1 kfbf k1 sl k2tog psso k1* repeat to end of round. [Hint: count to make sure you have the correct number of sts on each needle after working this round. It’s easier than you think to miss a psso and throw the whole pattern off.]

*K1 sl 1 k2tog psso k1 kfbf* repeat to end of round [see hint above]

2×1 Rib: *k2, p1* repeat to end of round

Instructions:

Using smaller needles, CO 66 sts and distribute over 3 DPN with 24 sts on the first and second needles, and 18 sts on the third. Join to work in the round, being careful not to twist stitches. Purl one round, then work 3 repeats of Dimple Stitch pattern (24 rounds total).

Coronet Bold

One size.

Finished measurements: 6.25 inches long, 8.25 inches around top (unstretched– will stretch to 10.5 inches), 7 inches around ribbed section (unstretched– will stretch to 10.5 inches). To adjust size, increase or decrease by multiples of 6 stitches. Each 6 stitches will change the unstretched circumference by 1.5 inches. For finer adjustment, consider working this project using a different yarn weight.

CO 36 sts and distribute evenly over 3 sts (12 sts per needle). Join to work in the round, being careful not to twist stitches.

1st round: Purl

2nd round: *K1 kfbf k1 sl k2tog psso k1* repeat to end of round. [Hint: count to make sure you have the correct number of sts on each needle after working this round. It’s easier than you think to miss a psso and throw the whole pattern off.]

If your bobbles seem a bit sloppy, you can perk them up by picking up the loose stitches on either side of each bobble and pulling them over the bobble. This &quot;strangles&quot; the bobble and makes it sit nicely.
